The design displaces 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) and carries 3,840 lb (1,742 kg) of lead ballast.[1]
The J/32 has a draft of 6.00 ft (1.83 m) with the standard keel and 4.75 ft (1.45 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 27 hp (20 kW). The fresh water tank has a capacity of 50 U.S. gallons (190 L; 42 imp gal).[1]
